no experience with it, but I'd think it is safe to say it sounds good based on what I've seen posted about it.

My review with one. I absolutely love this sub.

Just remember one thing, it took mine about 3 weeks to a month to get to its full potential. At first I was disappointed, but once the suspension loosened up I couldn't have been any more happier with my purchase.

Only con I have with mine, is the lack on notes about 60-70 hz. However, it was not a problem for me, I'm just lacking midbass from my components at the moment until I upgrade.

Not only does it sound good, but it also has A LOT of output.

Put a 15 in the GF's car a few months back getting around 1000watts. She's VERY happy with it. SQ is good on everything she listens to: 70's rock, 80's metal, old school rap, new rap, salsa, and even classical.

She does tend to turn down the remote gain knob frequently as it does have a lot of output when you crank it up and makes the rear package shelf slap up and down. Plan on bolting it down this weekend, so she can play it as loud as she wants.

Box is 3.5^3 @32Hz.

what subs can play all kinds of bass and not break a sweat

15" Q seems to do that. I've listened to 80's metal in her car and the kick drums hit hard, and on rap it gets low. Not sure what could be missing...

ok i was just wondering cause of Linxus comment about the 60-70hz his misses

could it be the way he tuned it, i mean by using a 60hz tone(in his review) ??

okwhat would be good tuning number

i listen to mostly rap and i like my subs to get low and loud(more low)//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

i had a TS-W2504SPL in 1.25cu @ 32 it got low and loud but it could've gotten lower, but it couldnt play a couple of my fav songs with out it smelling:furious:

i know i should have turned the amp down but i couldnt resist turning it up. thats why im in a look for a new sub that can take it all day.

what size Q? i like 35hz tuning

 

[carguy6702 10+ year member]

10 or 12 not sure yet but leaning towards the 10 sounds tighter, and 12 sound louder and move more air

 

[skadude016 5,000+ posts]

i would go with the 12. put it in 2.5 cubes tuned to 35hz with around 40 sq. inches of port //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
